[Nook Color General] Pinesal:
Not sure which rom to pick and which methods to use. I hope someone can point me to threads that will help.

I am not a noob. I have rooted my nook and have booted roms from SD etc. I just don't know if what I want is available and if it is, I would like to know which instead of trying out stuff until I find it.

Anyway this is what I want.

I want to dual boot an SD card meaning, I want the rooted stock rom built in and something else on the SD card.

I want storage to be shared between the stock rom and the SD card rom.

I want the most stable and fast rom

I want adobe flash

Bluetooth preferred, not a must.

I want all market apps in market.

Is possible?

How can I do this?

Just point me in the right direction I can find threads in the development section and fallow instructions, I just want to know which roms and methods to use.

Thanks,
[Nook Color General] Evaders99:
For stable + Flash: Nookie Froyo. Not sure if it has BT, but CM7 should. It is under more constant changes though.
[Nook Color General] TheValk:
Phiremod 5.1 is pretty snazzy. Fast and stable. Everything works as far as I know.
[Nook Color General] ADude:
Why do you want these things ?

Usually people want to run off an SD card for two reasons:

- To keep the Nook Color stock in order to use B&N features, and get the B&N update in mid-April with Android 2.2, Flash and B&N App Store.

OR

- To experiment with stuff on the SD rom, and keep the Nook itself stable to do everyday things reliably, like Calendar and Email.

BTW, what do you mean by "storage"? What storage used by what apps for what purpose ?

Tell us what you really want to do with the Nook, and we can give you recommendations, otherwise you will get the previous two posts, that gave you two contradicting recommendations. :D
[Nook Color General] Pinesal:
I want to keep the stock BN features most notably, the magazine and color books reader.

I also want the full android experience with all apps and flash because I can't get apps on the stock rom like Pocket Legends etc.

I want to use the SD card's extra space for storage for both roms. And by storage I mean places for downloads to go, storing mp3 files and photos etc. the normal things the SD is suppose to do. But I wasn't sure if I booted a rom from the SD card that the SD card storage is reserved only for that rom or if it can also be used by the built in stock rom too.
[Nook Color General] fleon888:
Did you ever find a good ROM? My requirements are the same as yours- I'd like to try a fuller Android experience, but, for a variety of reasons, I'd like to leave the internal memory with my Nookie rooted B&N experience.

If you have a good one, could you link it?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] adgre1:
So a few days ago I posted on here about getting my Chinese bought LGP503 working with the android app store. Using the tips I got from people on here I successfully flashed it to the UK LGP500 firmware and presto the store worked great! However, later that day I realized my 3G here in China wasn't working anymore. At first I chalked it up to quake related internet problems we've been having but then I talked to other people whose 3G was working just fine.

So I figured there was something up with my firmware not being compatible with the 3G here. I know that China has some different internet 3G standards from time to time but I've had friends pop a Chinese SIM card into an American Blackberry or other Smart Phone and it work just fine. So following this logic I finally, through no easy process, found and flashed the US T-Mobile firmware. Flashed fine and booted up great but still no 3G. Does anyone have a clue about whats going on with this? I really don't want to flash firmware again if I don't have to and I'm having trouble even finding the Chinese firmware now (the guide doesn't want to work for the Chinese firmware), plus I really like the way the T-Mobile stuff is setup, good apps and all.

I'm on China Mobile in Hubei Provence, China if that helps anyone any!

Thanks in advance.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polygon21:
i have purchased a 2nd hand desire z from someone, i noticed it has clockwork and rom manager installed, i think it also has super user rights. I also noticed that the rom is Virtuous 1.0.1. Thinking this meant that the phone was already rooted, i used rom manager to download and install CM7, however it caused the phone to be semi bricked, then i also realised that the phone was also S-ON.

Fortunately i managed to reboot the phone into CWM and restored the previous image, so now the question is, what is wrong?

PS. new to this whole android thingy..
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frettfreak:
hmmm... sounds like MAYBE you had a temp root?? Is you had superuser you definitely had some form of root, however, i am not sure you can flash a new rom if you dont have S-off (but i could be TOTALLY wrong here)

I have an Evo (and dont have this temp root issue), but i am helping a friend with a similar problem with his G2.

Can you get into recovery? (while phone is off, hold the volume down and power on the phone) If you can, do you have Clockwork recovery or stock android (says 3e at the top i think)?? If you have CW, just enable USB, download a CM7 through your computer, put it on your SD and flash it. SHould be good to go.

If you have stock recovery and S-on.. WELCOME TO MY BOAT... I am trying to find a solution to this for my friends phone. :) If i figure it out, i can let you know (please do the same??) :)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Martovitz:
I am having the same problem, with the same rom. I can use all root apps, but it says S is ON? I can't put any other rom on my phone with out it going into boot loop or just staying on, HTC screen.

O-yeah and I can not get the wifi to connect either says error or turns it self off after scanning? Please please please help. Thank you in advance.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitarwiz:
Hi all,

I have been trying to find information about this particular feature. I know of a similar feature on the iPad 1 & 2, where Keynote can be used to project a presentation on an external monitor whilst being controlled by the iPad etc. via a connection add-on (VGA or HD output)

Is there any mention or does anyone know of support for a dual monitor setup using the HDMI out port or even the micro-USB port?

I ask because this is a feature I would love to see but I'm not interested in the iPad because of the usual 'Jobs' approach and besides, the Xoom has way better specs in comparison.

Many Thanks,

Craig
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patass:
what, you mean mirroring the xoom's display over hdmi? That's there by default..
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] packruler:
You can watch a movie on the xoom and tv at same time not sure about video on tv control on xoom but I assume that it could happen
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitarwiz:
I think mirroring was a bit of an off term, I think I probably meant like a dual monitor support similar to that of a computer.

This is the iPad doing the "dual monitor" style I am trying to desrcibe

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnesus:
There was an article on Engadget recently about a new Android app that allowed that. I don't remember the name though. It was probably commercial app.

I dont see why you wouldnt be able to use any standard HDMI splitter like this http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10113&cs_id=1011301&p_id=5418&seq=1&format=2
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitarwiz:
I shall have a look on there later thanks for your input :D

I don't want to split the signal from the Xoom, I'd like to create a second monitor similar to a computer dual monitor approach, like a second desktop if you will, where the Xoom would be a presentation controller and the HDMI Out signal would serve as the presentation itself, instead of duplicating the Xoom homescreen, where you could hold your finger on a part of the Xoom Screen and then on the output, a red dot like a laser would appear.

The idea is to offer a second screen, not mirroring the Xoom where you could create presentations, plug into a projector, and have the Xoom turn into a controller where you could preview upcoming slides, and then the outputted image, at the same time, would show the presentation full screen.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babblin5:
you can use a micro HDMI to HDMI and go directly to your projector or TV and it mirrors automatically. You can control everything from your tablet just fine.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funnycreature:
still no cigar...

I think that many people did not quite understand what the OP was asking. He/she wants to hook up an external monitor to the Xoom and display a different image on the monitor as compared to the Xoom itself. On a Windows machine it would be called extended desktop. The iDisplay software does the opposite: it uses the Xoom as a second display.

Maybe someone else uses Lenovo ThinkPad laptops. You have a presentation mode there where, for example, you can see your PowerPoint presentation on a projector but the laptop screen will show the timeline, notes, and other useful options.

This option would be useful not only for PowerPoint presentations but also for watching movies from the Xoom on an HDTV but having the Xoom display turned off to save battery.

Not that this directly helps the OP but maybe someone else has any idea if there's a software for that need.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moriakoj:
I was thinking whether is possible to switch XOOM display off during watching the movie thru the HDMI. It could save battery. Anyone any idea whether it coould be possible?

Thanks
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SPIDERTECH:
iDisplay would make the Xoom an extended desktop monitor for the PC and like funnycreature pointed out, the OP wants to use a secondary monitor for the Xoom instead.

Besides even if you wanted to use the Xoom as an external monitor for the PC (which I would actually like to do) iDisplay wouldn't be the way to go. After reading the reviews of the app it's not even close to being worth the $5 price tag. One person said that it will work on the Xoom, but is so slow it's pretty much unusable.

I just downloaded this broswer and it seems to be extremely fast and snappy on my Vibrant. [Bionix 1.3.1] My question is, the user agent seems to be permanently set in stone as mobile. No matter what, I can't even find links to the full webpage. For example, engadget won't show it's "view full webpage" button.

Any of you guys have the same issue? Is there a way to change the user agent to desktop? Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] slimvin:
Same here, it's extremely annoying. The things that annoy me the most about Opera Mobile are:

-The built in file downloader (the folder it saves it to and when press home it usually stops the download)

-Whenever I click on a YouTube video in Opera Mobile it plays it through the stock video player not the YouTube app.

-the trouble i go through to see a desktop version of a site like you said.
[Android Apps and Games] iynfynity:
1.type opera:config

2. user preferences

3. custom user agent

4. paste this Opera/9.80 (Linux; en) Presto/2.7.81 Version/11.00

5. save & restart browser.

So I may sound completely stupid for asking this, but how exactly do you restart Opera on an Android phone? If I leave the browser, stop it from the manage applications menu, and reenter, the settings that I saved have been erased and returned their previous status. What do I need to do to make this user-agent change permanent?
[Android Apps and Games] mejogid:
You need to press save and the bottom of the User Preferences section.

I'm a bit sad that it doesn't play well with the default Android useragent - it seems to force a larger page size on many mobile sites/pages.

[Android Apps and Games] cyanide911:
This. It's just weird. Wikipedia always opens it's full version, don't know why. And google's mobile version that opens in opera is the old one, not the slick touch screen based version that opens in the default browser.

It's a shame, because text aligning and zooming are the fastest I've experienced. Although Swype is pretty slow in Opera.
[Android Apps and Games] samansh:
worked well! now i can view Engadget in desktop mode. thanks.

Just a quick off-topic question:

I use Google voice search widget and look for a location. Stock browser shows me the Google results. I select the location, read the details and then select the "directions". Stock browser gives me a nice option to complete the action with my navigation app, but Opera simply doesn't. Is there any way to get around this?
[Android Apps and Games] router54g:
Changing the user agent like that has no effect currently. You need to have Opera spoof it with another settings.

Go to the same opera:config page and look for "Spoof UserAgent ID". It's under the User Agent header, or you can just search "spoof". It's a numeric value between 1 and 5:

Default (Opera / Opera Mobile)

Mozilla (Opera mentioned)

Internet Explorer (Opera mentioned)

Mozilla (Opera not mentioned)

Internet Explorer (Opera not mentioned)

I've got a feature request up on Opera forums, mobile wish list section. I suggest you guys bump it if this limitation irks you. A real user agent switcher is something OpMobile really needs.

Hey everyone, I have found a fix for those of you frustrated with the old google mobile search. once you have typed in the custom user agent strings, go to google.com manually, it should load up the full site. Now, using your finger, press and hold over the google.com (website's) search bar, to bring up the menu. Now select "add search engine" then go to your browser search bar and tap the little google icon to bring up a list of search providers and select the new google one, be sure to delete the old one to avoid confusion. :)

Hi all,

I have test a lot of rom, but there is no "stable" rom for X8 for me.

All have camera, or something missing.

Is there a way to have original SE Roms, but without SE "4 corners" theme ? (blue one)

I have seen also, a "Quicktime" logo in my X8 box, and i see that, when i receive a .mov video, send from a iphone, only the SE original Rom can open it !

With a custom rom, even with all player (rockplayer, vplayer), there is no way to open a .mov video in gmail application.

I have import the original X8 SE rom, into the kitchen for custom it, and my question is :

If i change all Dialer.apk, and other apk from SE, with a original apk from 2.1 rom, it will work ?

Sorry for my bad english :) I hope that you will understand what i want to do :)

Thx

Well, make an xRecovery backup, take apps from /system/app in some custom ROM and try them out maybe the'll work. You have nothing to loose, deleting or placing apps in system/app will not affect xRecovery, so you can always flash your backup if something goes wrong :)

...why change them when you can edit them? It takes more time but the risk is lower.

First of all download launcher pro (better)... Then edit framework.apk (try to extract it)... just the images, or u can replace parts of it from custom roms.

I download an edited framework.apk and change some things I didnt like with the original.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blakeboys:
First of all WELCOME!!!

Im assuming that you are rooted correctly with s-off so do this for me. Place the .zip of the rom on to your SD card (not in a folder of the sd card, on the root of it) . Now, turn your phone off. Now, hold the volume down button and while still holding press the power button to turn on the phone. You should be taken to a bootloader screen. now press the volume down button to scroll to "recovery" now press the power button to select. Your phone should reboot into recovery. Now goto wipe and wipe the first 3 options listed by pressing the volume buttons to navigate and the power button to select. Once completed goto where it says flash zip on sd card (something along those lines :p) find your zip then press the powerbutton to select it. Now select reboot or power off phone and you should be good to go with the rom.
